Mr. Muchemi (Kenya) said that the problem of organized crime was particularly profound in Africa, prey to a severe shortage of financial and technical resources, and the increasing high rate of criminal activity had lead to a substantial loss of resources that should have been used on national development programmes. The new Government of Kenya was therefore fully committed to international efforts to combat international crime.
Muchemi (Kenya) señala que el problema de la delincuencia organizada se plantea con particular gravedad en África, donde existe una aguda carencia de recursos financieros y técnicos y el aumento de las tasas de criminalidad supone un grave peligro para la financiación de los programas nacionales de desarrollo.
